मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
संख्यामतिगुणां चापि तेषु लोकेषु मोदते । उन सभी स्थानोंमें सफलमनोरथ होकर वह देवकन्याओंद्वारा पूजित होता है तथा जिस यज्ञमें बहुत-से सुवर्णकी दक्षिणा दी जाती है
saṅkhyām atiguṇāṁ cāpi teṣu lokeṣu modate |
Bhishma bersabda: Di alam-alam itu ia bersukacita melampaui segala hitungan. Segala keinginannya terpenuhi; para bidadari memujanya. Ia pun meraih pahala yajña yang disertai dakṣiṇā emas berlimpah, dan selama tahun-tahun tak terbilang ia menikmati kebahagiaan di sana.

Educational Q&A
Dharmic generosity and meritorious conduct yield amplified results: one gains extraordinary joy in higher realms, comparable to the fruit of grand sacrifices with lavish gold-dakṣiṇā.
Bhishma continues instructing on the rewards of virtue: he describes the recipient of such merit as enjoying heavenly worlds, being honored by celestial maidens, and obtaining the sacrificial fruit associated with abundant gold gifts.
